European figure skating champion Alena Kostornaya she told how, through pain and discomfort, she went to the ice in the performance of Evgeni Plushenko.
– At the beginning of July, I had to perform in the show of Evgeny Viktorovich Plushenko, the day before my ankle injury, my ankle was very swollen. And this is Sochi: hot, swollen legs. I won’t say the ankle got the size of a football, but the leg doesn’t fit in the boot. Also, I got very hot in the sun while lying on the beach. The temperature rose, a nightmare in general. I just didn’t know how to get out on the ice in this state, ”quotes RT Kostornaya.
Last season, 18-year-old Kostornaya trained with Eteri Tutberidze. During the offseason, she changed her group – now the skater is under the leadership of Elena Buyanova.
Earlier, Kostornaya told that she will undergo surgery on her injured hip at the end of August.
